Contra Rebirth was released last week by Konami and they intend to continue the “Rebirth” trend by later releasing Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth for Wiiware.

As evidenced by the recent release of Contra Rebirth, expect Castlevania Rebirth to draw back to its roots and bring back the 8-bit/16-bit graphics. With this being concluded, look for a more linear, one-way adventure, as the older versions of Castlevania followed this formula (many of the newer Castlevanias involve a more open-world).

Much speculation is running about on which Castlevania it may turn out to be. Many of fans of the series speculate it will be a remake of the classic Game Boy game, Castlevania: The Adventure.

The ESRB has released some information about the game. To many, the game’s description sound what many fans would come to expect from a Castlevania game. Expect the classic 2-D side-scrolling and to fight a plethora amount of enemies as you journey through.

“This is a side-scrolling action game in which players battle against monsters in Dracula’s castle. Players use a chained whip to fight their way through halls and dungeons filled with zombies, skeletons, flying eyeballs, and bats. The enemy creatures frequently shoot projectiles and attack players in hand-to-hand combat. If players sustain too much damage, they keel over and emit a burst of red blood. Some rooms in the castle also have spikes or spears stained with red, blood-like splotches.”
